C iii A HARPER NOVEL OF SUSPENSE paraded through my mind, 'and with some thousands of other national stand- ards, now forever evicted from human reverence Into oblivion's scrap-pile and a pedant's occasional mention, I won- der that my frIend Mr. John F. Atkins, the night watchman, should think it worth his while to be hoisting this doomed bit of bunting every morning and to be lowering it at sunset pre- cisely." Their history is not the same as ours-from, say, Buchanan on. They do not have the same Theodore Roose- velt-who invited a Negro to din- ner and who scolded Owen Wister for idealizing prewar Charleston-let alone the same Lincoln. They do not even have the same national literature. It need not surprIse us that Cabell should write of Lincoln as a sordid poli- tician and of HarrIet Beecher Stowe as an odious old prIg and tyrant, but it does rather startle the Northerner to discover-in "Ladies and Gentle- menn-that the author is unable to be- lieve that the literature of the UnIted States has ever really amounted to any- thing. He will recognize only Poe as an authentic American "genius." He ad- mits that there is a little of Mark Twain that is readable, but otherwIse-the New England writers: Hawthorne, Thoreau, Emerson! the N ew Yorkers: Melville, Whitman, Henry James!- the whole thing is a pretentious fraud One remembers that Poe and Mark Twain were both more or less South- erners. Except for them, says Cabell, our letters are hopelessly second-rate, and he praises certain British writers-Arthur Machen, Stevenson, Saki-who may seem to the Northern reader much infe- rior to the native ones mentioned above. H ow, then, will the young Cabell nourish himself in a vanquished and ruined society, now subsumed un- der a system that he cannot accept, whose culture he considers null? Along what lines now can develop the career of a WrIter of remarkable gIfts and un- usual tenacity of purpose, born of the "quality" caste-he still always refers to a lady as a "gentlewoman"-in Richmond-in- Virginia (as he writes it), fourteen years after the Civil War and only two after the departure of the Yankees? This young man win begin by doing a good many of the traditional things for a cultivated person of the old stock. He graduates from William and Mary College, where he specializes in French and Greek; he has a period of newspaper work, first in the New York of 1899-1901, which he describes as APRIL 2. I.
